So WTF has he (Lerner) been doing for the last 14 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorski Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Lets hope SSN are proved wrong by Randy, if it were true then our club is in serious decline again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorski Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Randy's credibility is well & truly on the line, lets hope he comes up with the right solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaboyjay Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I am hoping that I didn't hear the report incorrectly, But I am sure KM was chatting away and said words to the effect that a manager would be in place by the end of the International break.. Which funnily enough, is after the transfer window closes too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjamesk Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I really do hope it`s Hitzfeld but as this summer so far has been an absolute "car crash" I`m getting myself prepared for Phil Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Aston Villa caretaker manager Kevin MacDonald has admitted that managing the club on a permanent basis would be a 'great opportunity' for him. MacDonald is currently overseeing the Midlands side following the departure of ex-boss Martin O'Neill. The Scot appeared to emerge as favourite of the job after helping Villa to an impressive 3-0 win over West Ham on the opening day of the season. But last Sunday's shock 6-0 loss at Newcastle has led to uncertainty, while USA head coach Bob Bradley has since confirmed his interest in the position. MacDonald intends to think long and hard over role, explaining: "It's got to be thought out very, very closely. "It would be a great opportunity for me, but it would be a great opportunity for anybody who could take over this job because it is a big club." MacDonald added that he does not think the 6-0 defeat at St James' Park harmed his chances, but he understands why some would disagree with him. "I think people on the outside would probably look at it that way," he said. "But from my own point of view it hasn't changed my stance towards what I was trying to do. "Whether it's damaged my opportunity, I've not thought of it as that yet." http://tinyurl.com/36xdjef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 stop being obsessed about targets. The key thing is the manager. If it can be done in the next week, soon after the Everton game, if not before, the manager then has two weeks to prepare the squad and bed in before the next match. If he can come in before and get a player then, great, if not, so be it. It's not the be all and end all of our season if we don't bring in additions. The moment Martin O'neill resigned, our seasons plans were put into chaos. Whoever comes in is going to have barely any time to properly research a players suitability for our side anyhow. It took a year for Petrov to settle. Blaming the board if we aren't able to bring in players this window is short-sighted and presuming it's because of a cost saving conspiracy is unfounded. We may well need to run the ship a little tighter, indeed, being sustainable in itself does not equal as bad as ellis. I'd say 4 years of investment and backing is a pretty solid start that no-one can dispute. Unfortunately there aren't trillionaires for every club. We thought we hit the jackpot and then the arabs and city came in and trumped us. It's a bit of a shitter. We still have very good owners ( IMO) and until they show evident displays of incompetence, speculation tarnishing their name is grossly unfair. We're ( generally, current lack of manager aside ) better off than 70% of the league. It's frustrating that getting further seems near impossible without an insane leap of funds, but it's not impossible ( IMO ). In theory we should be able to build a team over years that can achieve, although the spanner in the works is the likes of Milner leaving despite two excellent years. We may eventually need to seek further investment, or target the league itself and try and force some 'pro competition rules' in place, who knows. But until we do end up failing badly, let's tone down the despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 The ITK stuff from Ginger all leads back to Kevin Mack. He's managed at international level, albeit as an assistant. No doubts he'll have spoken to Randy by now about transfer targets, one of which may have played for him with Ireland, Robbie Keane? I'll believe it when I see it. I'd still like a top class name and not someone without knowledge of the wider footballing world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 No it's Giampaolo Mazza. That was some serious googling you did there. (I know I had to) Everyone knows Mazza, P.E teacher too so knows how to work with youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2010 I think Randy is holding out for Jol, and that could explain why it is taking so long. Perhaps Ajax's result tonight could have a bearing on that, who knows... I just can't wait for this to be resolved so we know where we stand and can set our hopes for the season, and we know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
